    I knew you were going to say that. I honestly think it hasn't had as much hype as him passing Gehrig last year (Edit; 2 years ago, i am dumb), which I will admit was insane. 3,000 is a big number dude.

    sure, 3000 is a big number. I guess it's the yanks, which means easy ratings for HBO.

    I just don't think many non-yanks fans give a fuck. I can't stand when the media force feeds me stories like this (I cant wait for the AS game to be over so I don't have to hear about it anymore either. Those discussions drive me crazy)

    It's the Yanks and it's Jeter so yeah, its definitely big time ratings.

    I mean, as a baseball fan if a player like Ichiro were approaching a number like this, I would certainly be at least a little interested but I agree it's Yankees fans for the most part.

    I think Thome's approach to 600 should be a bigger deal and I am definitely interested in that, but it is the Yankees and it is Jeter so of course it's going to get attention.

    And yeah, I hear you on the all star game. Who cares.

    Edit: And to my Thome comparsion, it's not like Jeter is holding on as a part time player and achieving this number. While he isn't what he once was, he isn't in Thome situation..

    He'll also be the first Yankee to do it as a Yankee. They've had other 3,000 hitters. But with different teams

    Now that you say it, I just turned on my DVR. I am on ESPN2 though because with the package it's either that or the Cleveland broadcast.

    Well, most likely not tonight

    back to back good innings from Hughes. He was getting the yips out in the 11st.

    Hughes pitched better as the game went on. Had some trouble in the 5th. I would have liked for him to come out for the 6th. But 5ip and 2er you'll take. Especially after a rough 1st inning.

    2 doubles for jeter in the last 2 games. One of his outs was hit really hard. Good to see.

    No chance I see 3000 on Sunday.
